Expatriate Managers
Since the 1990s, economic and cultural globalization has propelled the transnational mobility of managers and fueled cross-border careers. Some scholars have argued for the emergence of a new global business elite with cosmopolitan mind-sets and homogeneous lifestyles, while others have highlighted their disconnection from the local surroundings and their everyday life within national expatriate ‘bubbles’. Thus, the question of whether today’s mobile professionals can be described as interculturally open and competent cosmopolitans, or as pronounced anti-cosmopolitans, is still unanswered. Expatriate Managers and the Paradoxes of Working and Living Abroad considers a core protagonist o...

Initiatives by Subsidiaries of Multinational Corporations
In the field of international business, it is increasingly recognized that Multinational Corporations (MNCs) can no longer rely on headquarters as the single source of competitive advantage. Therefore, growing interest centers on decentralized entrepreneurial initiatives that originate in their network of foreign subsidiaries. Based on an extensive review of literature, Lars R. Dzedek develops a comprehensive framework to help explain how the setting in which a foreign subsidiary operates impacts its entrepreneurial initiatives and outcomes. The author conducts an empirical investigation in 14 foreign units of two large MNCs and offers detailed case studies with rich insights into entrepreneurial subsidiary activities.
Corporations and Cultural Industries
Corporations and Cultural Industries: Time Warner, Bertelsmann, and News Corporation, by Scott Warren Fitzgerald, fills an important neglected area in communication and media studies through its sustained, theoretically grounded, and empirically rich analysis of three of the most important global media conglomerates of our time: Time Warner, Bertelsmann, and News Corp. The book examines how financialization processes regear the internal operations of media corporations in a manner that pits one sector against another.
Transnationale Konzerne
Transnationale Konzerne - unter diesem ‚Label’ hat sich in der organisations- und industriesoziologischen sowie betriebswirtschaftlichen Globalisierungsforschung eine lebhafte Debatte um den Wandel von Organisationsstrukturen und -strategien grenzüberschreitend tätiger Unternehmen entwickelt. Transnationale Konzerne gelten heute als zentrale Akteure im Globalisierungsprozeß, die für den Transfer von Finanzkapital, Wissen, Technologie, Personal und Managementstrategien verantwortlich sind. Was jedoch aussteht, ist eine genuin organisationssoziologisch argumentierende Auseinandersetzung mit diesem Organisationstyp: Was bedeutet Transnationalisierung für die Umweltbezüge von (Wirtschafts-)Organisationen? Was bedeutet sie für die Inklusion von Mitgliedern? Wie verändert sich ihre soziale Einbettung? Was geschieht mit kulturell verankerten Deutungssystemen und Relevanzstrukturen? Diesen Fragen gehen die Beiträge des Sammelbands nach. Als roter Faden zieht sich durch alle Beiträge die Frage, ob Transnationale Konzerne einen neuen Typus von Organisation darstellen, und wenn ja, wie er sich theoretisch modellieren und empirisch beschreiben lässt.

Handbook of Research on Strategy and Foresight
This important Handbook explores and evaluates dynamic environments and the appropriate strategic responses to them in the 21st century. Drawing together a collection of 29 original chapters, the Handbook makes an invaluable contribution to theory and practice by stimulating disciplined, rigorous and imaginative enquiry into the relationship between strategy and foresight. Leading scholars in the field of strategic management are brought together to offer innovative and multi-disciplinary perspectives on the past, present and future of strategy formation and foresight. In so doing, they challenge research in four key areas: strategy and foresight processes; strategy innovation for the future; understanding the future; and strategically responding to the future. The Handbook of Research on Strategy and Foresight is a comprehensive resource that will be invaluable for academics, students and practitioners interested in this important phenomenon.
